Interdisciplinary studio projects, photographic documentation, and texts/writings exploring archiving methodologies and site-specific phenomena in the context of cultural and environmental preservation.
Current studio research explores how the fashioning of materials shapes identity and cultivates tactile dialogues with memory/place. See also Lost in Fiber writing sessions and The Other Upstate memoir.

Archiving as art.
The objects and sculptural forms populating my rural lakeside studio serve as an evolving archive of materials to be installed and documented in modifiable ways. Fiber, plastics, soil/clay, and handmade tools serve as counterpoints to photographic recordings of ideas about loss, preservation, resilience, and transparency. My workspace is an open plan of sorts where I can build and reassemble forms as well as integrate views beyond my studio’s windows.

Preservation as a practice.
I honestly feel that art/design studios put too much emphasis on continuously designing, making, and producing. I have come to allow for space and reflection in my practice where undoing, options for not making but preserving, and a focus on keen observation take precedence. I love to make objects, but I also carefully consider what needs to be made and what the lasting impact will be.
